All of our daily interactions occur on a foundation of
power. The dynamic of this power is often habitual and a result of the way that
power has been used in our surroundings from birth. Very rarely is anyone asked to reflect on the way that they
are using the power that they have or the way others are using it. Often we feel
the effects of how this power is used. Hurt by friends who may cross
boundaries in their jokes, frustration with a person of authority for using
their power to control, worn down by systems built to make us feel powerless.
How can we redefine these moments? What power do we have to change these
interactions, challenge these systems, alter the world around us?
